Can someone please make sense of this to me.....
I only seem to get an Edge network for data except in areas that the coverage checker says "3G Good Outdoors". Why am I not getting any 3G connection despite being in an area where the checker says "3G Good Indoors and Outdoors"....??
Do the areas use different frequencies or something? Shouldn't I also be getting a 3G data connection rather than just Edge when there is good 3G coverage Indoors and Outdoors in my area?
I live in Torquay

Others there are differences in the frequencies used for 2G / EDGE when compared with 3G.
The coverage checker is only a guide and they can't guarantee coverage at all points on it

I've checked the service status. All is fine, that is how I came to realise I only seem to get 3G in the areas marked only Outdoors. I get no 3G, only Edge, in the areas which say Indoors and Outdoors, depite an equally good network status on the status checker. There is no maintenance being done.
